No more billionaires, thanks
The present governor of Illinois is a billionaire. On the Dem side, the seeming-frontrunner or the guy who has spent the most on commercials is a billionaire. The millionaire (maybe billionaire) member of a stinking wealthy family with lots of political ties and family political experience wants to be governor. Why?
The present governor of Illinois doesn't know how to make a deal with anyone. He just wants to be the man in charge who when he says jump, everyone does so. It just doesn't happen that way in politics, especially in Illinois. He thinks every one should jump for him is because he is a billionaire whose campaign was funded in part by the wealthiest man in Illinois who is, guess what, a billionaire. Now he can spend his money however he wants and has done some good, giving a lot of money to his alma mater and giving the City of Chicago money to improve its bike trail. The present governor of Illinois still doesn't have a clue and that's why he should be cut off.
The present governor had an TV ad a few weeks ago that said that he has a plan. What? To get people to jump when he says so? How's that worked so far? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
His latest ad attacks the seeming-frontrunner other billionaire by broadcasting a conversation he had with ex-governor and current prison inmate, Rod Blagojevich. Rod's droning on and on, thinking he's a kingmaker and it honestly sounds like the seeming-frontrunner isn't really listening, like he's agreeing just so he can maybe get off the phone and have some pie or even chips and dip. Then it says we should vote for the present governor.
My head about snapped off my neck.
The first thing that has to happen is a primary. In the primary, people will twirls off to the polls and vote for whom they think should be governor. GOP Senator Jeanne Ives of Wheaton is circulating petitions to get on the primary ballot. You don't spend money attacking someone who may or may not be your opponent after a primary. You either save your money until you have an opponent and then attack that person or you spend as little dough as possible, maybe just saying that's you're still there and please swing back and tick my name. This is also the time when hardcore Dems like me do protest voting. If you hate Rauner and you're comfy with Dems doing right without your vote, you vote for his opponent. In this case, there are too many Democrats and that race will need my attention.
The second thing that happens is we all have to go vote in the primary. Line up, it's your civic responsibility. You're lucky enough to live in a democracy; go take advantage of that.
On Friday, I saw an ad that said something like "Vote for Biss. The Middle-Class Democrat for Governor." WHAT?
Thank god in heaven, Daniel Biss is not just middle-class but he is smart! His wife is smart! They live in Evanston and he has solid Illinois political experience. He was in the Illinois House for one term and is presently a State Senator, represently the 9th Illinois district. When I saw his ad, I was stunned. I told my coworker who lives in Evanston and he said, "Yeah, he's a good guy."
So all y'all billionaires are on notice that there's a new person of the people on TV and he really is a person of the people and just a regular guy. A very smart guy, to be sure, but not a rich guy with more money than the gods.
